@freemo it's not even that, it's the same people that are usually defending against the same accusations whenever a nut that aligns with their group is the shooter. It takes a special kind of stupid to go from "just because one right-wing r****d shot up a school doesn't mean all right-wing people are insane" directly to "some trans r****d shot up a school therefore all trans people are insane".
On the other hand, I'm sure a lot of those people don't actually think that unironically and are instead taking it out on the situation usually being the reverse, "journalists" crapping out articles that imply a shooter is a good representation of a group they belong to.

the problem with arguing nobody thinks that is on the internet there is always somebody who thinks that.
@nixCraft oh no this is an issue I haven't thought about until now and it's got big potential to be extremely annoying

@kuba @m0iga@101010.pl @miklo @agnieszka @wariat były już takie pomysły i da się takie mikropłatności zrobić sensownie. Przykład: BAT (Basic Attention Token, pomysł projektu Brave). W tym momencie reklamodawca płaci guglowi, webmaster hostuje reklamy gugla, a gugiel odpala mu marny procent jak ludzie oglądają i jeszcze zbiera wszystkie możliwe dane. Alternatywa: zdecentralizowany system w którym reklamodawca płaci BAT żeby wystawić reklamy a webmaster wymaga małej płatności w BAT za skorzystanie ze strony opcjonalnie jednocześnie hostując miejsca w których te reklamy mogą być umieszczone i tym samym oferując opcję oglądania reklam zamiast płacenia. Odpowiada i tym co wolą płacić i tym co wolą oglądać reklamy, a do tego wycina gugla i jego spyware.
Czemu zatem nie jest wprowadzone szerzej? Bo aktywiści internetowi wolą szkalować że to krypto i jednocześnie płakać że politycy od 20 lat nie potrafią ogarnąć sytuacji i wymyślać scenariusze w których jakiekolwiek zbieranie metryk jest by default odgórnie zabronione ustawą xD

If your #github project uses #stalebot you are being actively hostile to your community and should stop it.
I'm looking at you, #esphome, and the 4 (at least!) identical bugs indicating problems with esp_touch that were all closed by stalebot. Some of them were reproduced and started discussion and debugging before being closed.
Auto-closing is for #support requests, not #bug reports. Bugs don't magically disappear just because you ignore them.
@mgorny it's my favourite thing. I got off work and behold, it's still bright outside! That's what I've been missing the whole bloody winter.

@lore did nobody make a proxy that does all that work on another computer and sends easy to digest data to a mobile front-end yet? This is as if the aforementioned Mastodon FE did ActivityPub event handling directly on the client machine.

i'm not against cheap sketchy solutions to stuff.
"okay, this is shit, but it was obvious that it was, and i'm on a budget, so i'll settle for the shit solution since that's all i can manage for the moment."
what's less acceptable for me is when there's no warning. "hey, this sounds like a bargain" and then it turns out it was just 3 sketchy solutions in a trench coat.
@to3k @wariat @miklo @piotrsikora @wikiyu@sprawy.eu chodzi o nazwanie całego układu generator-kable-kontrolki-silnik elektryczny "transmisją elektryczną", jako że spełnia tę samą rolę co tradycyjna transmisja składająca się z wałów korbowych, skrzyni biegów i czego tam jeszcze. Wydaje mi się że się po prostu nie zrozumieliśmy.
@to3k @wariat @miklo @piotrsikora @wikiyu@sprawy.eu "The two air-cooled V-10 engines designated Porsche Type 101, which were merged respectively with a Siemens-Schuckert 500 kVA generator, generated the necessary electric power to operate each of the two Siemens 230 kW (312.7 PS) individual-output electric motors. In this drive system, a mechanical power transmission system and gearbox could be omitted, since now a 3-step speed switch took over the work. The electric motors transferred their power to a final drive with a ratio of 15: 1 directly to the drive wheels located at the rear."

@to3k @wariat @miklo @piotrsikora @wikiyu@sprawy.eu "elektryczną transmisją" widziałem nazwane wszelkie układy dostarczające moc z nie-elektrycznego silnika do kół za pomocą przewodów i silników elektrycznych itd., na przykład jak w Tygrysie wersji Porsche.
@wariat @miklo @piotrsikora @wikiyu@sprawy.eu @to3k dodatkowo elektryczna transmisja do silników elektrycznych potrafi mieć większe możliwości i mniejsze straty niż mechaniczna bezpośrednio do układu napędowego. Lokomotywy dieslowe od kiedy istnieją są tak naprawdę generatorami diesla siedzącymi na elektrycznym podwoziu, samochody hybrydowe podobnie.
@lore the ability to just buy a cheap 1TiB drive and dump whatever you want onto it is a blessing of the modern age.

it's a dick move on the part of HDD manufacturers to sell SMR drives without writing in big fat bold letters on them that they're the trashy option.
so
normal hard drives are now known as CMR (Conventional Magnetic Recording) drives. they had to retrospectively invent a name for them, now that there's a worse option in town.
these new ones are SMR (Shingled Magnetic Recording).
so, on a normal hard drive, data is stored a bit like on a vinyl record, on parallel tracks.
what SMR does is actually to put these tracks a little bit too close together. normally, this would ruin the data on the next track over, but the way they fix it is to compensate. turns out you can pack them closer together if you make sure to counteract the magnetic flux in JUST the right way.
but you HAVE to write out several tracks as a group to do this. and this group is called a zone.
unlike regular drives, where you can write out a single sector of 4 kB, on these drives, you're looking at writing out 256 MB or more if you're only changing a single sector of data.
if you're writing out big files, this is fine, but performance for small random writes is going to be horrible. the technique relies heavily on caching and writing out later to work properly.
so they're not very good, *especially* not for things like NAS or DB servers, where you *really* want stuff to be written to disk immediately for the sake of data integrity.
@bojanland@mastodon.online @nixCraft Arch lets you do anything you want and it's your responsibility to ensure it's not stupid and won't break your system. ZFS is not the default, but there's no actual default, just instructions on how to install it on a FS of your choice.
To be clear, that's not a critique nor an endorsement. It's just a system for different use cases than something noob-friendly like Ubuntu.
@fcktheworld587 @nf3xn @attilasedon@fosstodon.org @nixCraft the human mind is basically a lumbering statistical engine for pattern matching.
The main advantages over ChatGPT that we have are just more neurons and adaptation to more tasks than guessing words.

Typescript is doing a better job of teaching me advanced use of types than almost 30 years of knowing java
